Important Safety Information

SAFETY ALERT

SYMBOL

This symbol is used to call your attention to

hazards or unsafe practices which could result

in an injury or property damage. The signal

word, deﬁned below, indicates the severity of

the hazard. The message after the signal word

provides information for preventing or avoiding

the hazard.

Immediate hazards which, if not avoided, WILL

result in severe injury or death.

Hazards which, if not avoided, COULD result in

severe injury or death.

Hazards or unsafe practices which, if not avoided,

MAY result in injury or property damage.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

Read all instructions.

Failure to follow all instructions

listed below may result in electric

shock, ﬁre and/or serious injury.

The term “power tool” in all of the

warnings listed below refers to your

mains operated (corded) power

tool and battery operated (cordless)

power tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Work Area Safety

1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or

dark areas invite accidents.

2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-

spheres, such as in the presence of ﬂammable

liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

3. Keep children and bystanders away while

operating a power tool. Distractions can cause

you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never

modify the plug in any way. Do not use any

adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power

tools. Unmodiﬁed plugs and matching outlets will

reduce risk of electric shock.

2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded

surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges

and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of

electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-

ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase

the risk of electric shock.

4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for

carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.

Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges

or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords

increase the risk of electric shock.

5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an

extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of

a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of

electric shock.

Personal Safety

1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use

common sense when operating a power tool.

Do not use a power tool while you are tired or

under the inﬂuence of drugs, alcohol or medi-

cation. A moment of inattention while operating

power tools may result in personal injury.

2. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye

protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask,

non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing pro-

tection used for appropriate conditions will reduce

personal injuries.

4

Important Safety Information

3. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is

in the off position before plugging in. Carrying

power tools with your ﬁnger on the switch or

plugging in the power tools that have the switch

on invites accidents.

4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before

turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left

attached to a rotating part of the power tool may

result in personal injury.

5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times. This enables better control

of the power tool in unexpected situations.

6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves

away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry

or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

7. If devices are provided for the connection of

dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure

these are connected and properly used. Use of

these devices can reduce dust related hazards.

Power Tool Use and Care

1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct

power tool for your application. The correct

power tool will do the job better and safer at the

rate for which it was designed.

2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does

not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot

be controlled with the switch is dangerous and

must be repaired.

3. Disconnect the plug from the power source

and/or the battery pack from the power tool

before making any adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing power tools. Such

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of

starting the power tool accidentally.

4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-

dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with

the power tool or these instructions to operate

the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the

hands of untrained users.

5. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment

or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts

and any other condition that may affect the

power tools operation. If damaged, have the

power tool repaired before use. Many accidents

are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges

are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits

etc. in accordance with these instructions and

in the manner intended for the particular type

of power tool, taking into account the working

conditions and the work to be performed.

Use of the power tool for operations different

from those intended could result in a hazardous

situation.

Battery Tool Use and Care

1. Ensure the switch is in the off position before

inserting battery pack. Inserting battery pack

into power tools that have the switch on invites

accidents.

2. Recharge only with the charger speciﬁed by

the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for

one type of battery pack may create a risk of ﬁre

when used with another battery pack.

3. Use power tools only with speciﬁcally desig-

nated battery packs. Use of any other battery

packs may create a risk of injury and ﬁre.

4. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away

from other metal objects like paper clips,

coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal

objects that can make a connection from one

terminal to another. Shorting the battery termi-

nals together may cause burns, or a ﬁre.

5. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be

ejected from battery; avoid contact. If contact

accidentally occurs, ﬂush with water. If liquid

contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.

Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irrita-

tion or burns.

Service

1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualiﬁed

repair person using only identical replacement

parts. This will ensure that the safety of power

tool is maintained.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

1. Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can

cause hearing loss.

2. Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool.

Loss of control can cause personal injury.

3. Hold power tools by insulated gripping

surfaces when performing an operation where

the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.

Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed

metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the

operator.

4. Be aware that this tool is always in an operating

condition, since it does not have to be plugged

into an electrical outlet.

5. If the bit becomes jammed, immediately turn the

trigger switch off to prevent an overload which

can damage the battery pack or motor. Use

reverse motion to loosen jammed bits.

6. Do not operate the Forward/Reverse lever when

inserting battery pack. Inserting battery pack

into power tools that have the trigger pressed

down invites accidents.

• When storing the battery or when battery pack

is not in use, keep it away from other metal

objects such as paper clips, coins, keys, nails,

screws, or other small metal objects that

can make a connection from one terminal to

another, causing the battery to short. Shorting

the battery terminals together may cause a large

current overﬂow resulting in overheating, burns,

or a ﬁre. Refer to the “Maintenance” section for

cleaning procedures.

Other types of batteries may burst, causing personal

injury and damage.

• Do not attempt to charge the battery pack with

any other charger. Otherwise, the battery may

leak, overheat, or explode.

cally stops to prevent degradation of the battery.

• It is strongly urged that the battery pack not be

charged when the temperature is BELOW 32°F

(0°C) or ABOVE 104°F (40°C). This is very

important in order to maintain optimal condition of

the battery pack.

• When charging a cool battery pack [below 32°F

(0°C)] in a warm place, leave the battery pack

at the place and wait for more than one hour to

warm up the battery to the level of the ambient

temperature.

• Cool down the charger when charging more than

two battery packs consecutively.

• Charge the battery pack in a well ventilated place;

do not cover the charger and battery pack with a

cloth, etc., while charging.

• Do not insert your ﬁngers into contact hole, when

holding charger or any other occasions.

• This plug will ﬁt in a polarized outlet only one way.

If the plug does not ﬁt fully in the outlet, reverse

the plug. If it still does not ﬁt, contact a qualiﬁed

electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not

change the plug in any way

• To reduce risk of damaging the electric plug and

cord, pull by plug rather than cord when discon-

necting charger.

• Make sure cord is located so that it will not be

stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected

to damage or stress.

• Do not operate charger with damaged cord or

plug—replace them immediately.

• An extension cord should not be used unless

absolutely necessary.

• Use of improper extension cord could result in a

risk of ﬁre and electric shock.

• If extension cord must be used, make sure that:

– Pins on plug of extension cord are the same

number, size and shape as those of plug on

charger.

– Extension cord is properly wired and in good

electrical condition.

– Wire size is large enough for ampere rating of

charger as speciﬁed below.
